Need Baja Advice
 

Hi im new to the forums but not to boating. Im looking to buy a baja, preferably an outlaw, but ive seen good stuff on the boss/hammer. Can someone reccomend a good boat, and the year, assuming im willing to spend around 20-25k. Im pretty much a recreational boater and i want something that will do 55+


I will also go with something else besides a baja but i doubt il get any reccomendations in this thread for something else besides a baja.

Assuming you will be dragging someone hanging on to a rope, I'd look at something under 25'.
The H2X is fast & good looking, but not an Outlaw. It is my favorite of all the under 25' Baja's.
I would defiantly want a big block.
I'm not too sure what else to say. You didn't give much to go on.
Anything goes in that price range right now.

Lets start with where do you boat?

Guessing you will want to wake board also, I second a H2X, and can be purchased in you price range.

Sorry guys i was in class when i typed up that response. I boat in the Maryland and Delaware River area. Im not looking to pull someone behind the boat or I'd be buying a wakeboarding boat. Im actually only 20 years old but im a professional poker player so I have some extra money to spend on a boat. $30,000 dollars is my top price range which might be too much. I kind of want a cuddy cabin but to be honest a 20 outlaw would suit me just fine for now if I get enough people to reccomend the boat. I really just want a boat to cruise around in, bring a few girls on, and MAYBE spend a few nights in the summer. I guess I wouldnt care about sleeping outside for a night so a cuddy cabin isn't a must.


With that information what kind of boat do you guys reccomend? If you need anymore information Im willing to give it so i can get some good boat reccomendations.

Lots of 272 baja's for that kind of money and they have cuddy cabins

You should be able to find some 25 Outlaws at that price no problem. Here is one in the classifieds: http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o32421-en.html

My thought exactally

20 outlaw is really too small to spend the night on, unless you HAD TO. Look at 25 OL, and 272 Performance. I wouls still look at the H2X, :evilb:

the baja 272's might be a bit too big for me right now i think. I guess im looking for something between 20-25ft. Does anyone have any complaints about the baja 20 outlaw and is it possible to sleep up under the steering wheel area lol

272 is about the same size as a 25 Outlaw with a tube platform. The 272 just has the swim platform molded onto the hull.

What do you have to pull it with? Hard to tell a guy to by a boat when he could be pullin it with an Escort for all we know.

A great started boat would be a 240 or 24OL. Plus you can get a few Hotties on it.

I know of a VERY clean low hour 2001 232 Performance Series with the Boss package and a big block here in MD. Message me for details if interested.

With your budget a 226es would be a good fit. I had a 90 model 226es. It was a good riding boat, had plenty of room & was pretty fast.

H2X You need to look at a H2X, think of it as a 20 Outlaw but supersized.
